C8 progress in Texas

Hi David

In no way should you feel your efforts are not a restoration. For they are most definitely are a restoration the CMP in spirit. For in looking at the history of the birth of CMP concept, they where very much making do with what parts could be found at hand.

I've got three CMPs and only one has any claim on being an "original" truck and it has collected its share of later replacement parts. The other two the best you can say about them is CMPs with locally supplied bodies.

Keep up the good work, just remember to tell people the 327 Corvette engine is not stock, but come to think of it the first Corvettes had engines not far descended from those used in Chevy CMPs.

Cheers Phil
